Hi there,

I was wondering if there is any way of making YA NewsWatcher "remember" your
favourite set of newsgroups and their history, for a particular ISP.

My problem is that if I want to try, say, freeserve, when I connect and run
NewsWatcher, it brings back all the newsgroups and I have to start from
scratch, defining which ones I want to read etc.

Then, when I go back to using my Demon connection, it does the same thing -
reads all the newsgroups. It also seems to have lost the history of the news
groups I subscribe to, i.e. which articles I have read.

I suppose I can work around this by using, say, Outlook express, for testing
new ISP's news.

Just wanted to know if there is a better way of resolving this.

TIA and Regards,
SEG
